As the world's most successful source of neutrons for research, the Institut Max von Laue-Paul Langevin has developed unique facilities for neutron research. It now provides industrial users with privileged access to highly-specialised neutron instrumentation and the specialized know-how of its scientific and technical staff.

The ILL has a role to play in supporting industrial R&D in its quest for technological development. We intervene in challenging problem-solving situations and exploratory projects. The ILL's instruments are optimised to analyse the structure and dynamics of your materials and samples in real time and in real conditions (temperature, pressure, stress, ageing…). In many cases, because of their unique properties, neutrons are the only means of obtaining this information.

As our technology could also be of benefit to others, we offer access to it through technology transfer.

Those seeking a competitive edge in innovation will find the resources for R & D they need at the ILL.
